Questions: I recently bought a 62 CJ-5 with this distributor installed. I had a huge misfire problem. In fact, it blew my muffler completely out. The vehicle will crank but not fire now. I spark checked the coil wire and spark plugs wires and got nothing. Ohms checked the Standard UC-12 (external resistor required) ignition coil. Checked good (1.8 ohms) on primary and was open on the secondary circuit. I would like to check the pickup coil in the distributor itself but have no specs/values to go by. Do you know what the values of the pickup coil would be?

Questions: What type of coil can be used? If coil requires a ballast resistor, do the internal electronics replace the resistor or do I still need to use it? Do I remove the stock condenser?
Question By: Dave on Jan 1 1970 12:00 AM
You want to use an internal resist coil. But you can use an external resist coil. The instructions come complete with how to wire up either. It is very simple to do.
Answer By: Willys Tech on Oct 18 2010 12:00 AM
We recommend 933160 coil that we sell. You can use either style of coil though. See our install instruction link above.
